Whitney Houston's Daughter on Life Support: Is There Hope? Wednesday, 04 Feb 2015 11:23 AM By Charlotte Libov Bobbi Kristina Brown has been placed in a medically induced coma, which is a common procedure in patients with severe brain injuries, a top medical expert tells Newsmax Health. The daughter of the late singer Whitney Houston and the rapper Bobby Brown was found unconscious in her bathtub on Saturday. “A medically induced coma simply means that the doctors used general anesthesia to put her out while they stabilize her, find the extent of damage to her brain, and whether it’s reversible,” says Marc Leavey, M.D., internist at Mercy Medical Center in ...

Heartwire Baseline and serial measures of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-TnT) predict incident atrial fibrillation (AF) independently of traditional risk factors, suggests a new analysis from the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS)[1]. "Our study shows that circulating troponin levels from either myocyte damage or protein turnover occurs upstream and predisposes to AF in older adults," Dr Ayman Hussein (Cleveland Clinic Foundation, OH) told heartwire by email. "And it highlights a key element in cardiac structural remodeling that leads to AF." Hussein is lead author of the study published online January 17, 2015 in Heart Rhythm. The study population consisted ...
Australia to test breakthrough stroke treatment machine

SYDNEY, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Australia has been chosen as the first site in the world to test a portable stroke-diagnosing machine which could greatly help up to 80 percent of patients, it was reported on Wednesday. The sudden brain traumas usually cause severe physical disabilities and are often fatal. Fast treatment within four hours is the key to reducing the effects of strokes, but patients have to be transported to hospital for CT scans, and globally many patients are not correctly diagnosed in that time. Now Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology and the Medfield Diagnostics company have developed a machine which allows paramedics to diagnose patients at the scene - and ...

Most of you already know that my first published books were about natural health and conditioning. So it won't come as any surprise to you that I firmly believe that "health = survival" in its truest form. In fact, my most recent work in the area of natural health was on a topic that I've personally struggled with for some time... and was outraged at the facts I uncovered. You see, men are FINALLY waking up to the full blown assault on our manhood and... Here's Why Men Are Virtually "Disappearing" Within Our Society... mcs-mag.com/s/free-report-for-men In the shocking movie, "The Disappearing Male", Dr. Herbert Needleman summed ...

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — Even just a little jogging done at a very easy pace goes a long way towards increasing longevity, according to a new analysis. The results also suggest there is a limit to the benefit and that too much running—done more frequently, for longer periods, or at a greater intensity—was not associated with any additional mortality benefits compared with sedentary nonrunners[1]. "The U-shaped association suggests the existence of an upper limit for exercise dosing that is optimal for health benefits," write Dr Peter Schnohr (Frederiksberg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark) and colleagues February 2, 2015 in the Journal of the American College of ...
Poison your child or go to jail… in the public interest

An increase in measles cases likely stemming from an illegal alien who visited California Disney theme parks has sent the pharmaceutical crowd into a tizzy and exposed its true agenda. In a column in USA Today last week, Alex Berezow opined that “Parents who do not vaccinate their children should go to jail.” The piece is a mishmash of clichés, argle-bargle, half-truths, mistruths, outright lies and bullying about the efficacy of vaccines and their dangers. In a fascist state like modern America, there is a marriage between big government and big industry. The government uses its propaganda and police power to get the crowd to conform. The propaganda of the corporate ...
MARIJUANA BACKED BY MORE STUDIES THAN MOST FDA APPROVED PHARMA DRUGS

Many pharma drugs have only one clinical trial Marijuana and its use has been studied over the course of the last few decades more so than even many leading FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs, with researchers categorizing the effects of marijuana to a much greater degree than many of the pharmaceutical drugs you or your family may currently be taking. In a revelation that really demonstrates our scientific focus in the United States, where marijuana is still considered by federal law to be a dangerous and illegal substance placed in the same class as hard drugs like heroin, even mainstream media publications have begun calling out the strange doctrine of the medical community that pushes ...

Question #1) If measles vaccines confer measles immunity, then why do already-vaccinated children have anything to fear from a measles outbreak? Question #2) If vaccines work so well, then why did Merck virologists file a False Claims Act with the U.S. government, describing the astonishing scientific fraud of how Merck faked its vaccine results to trick the FDA? Question #3) If vaccines don't have any links to autism, then why did a top CDC scientist openly confess to the CDC committing scientific fraud by selectively omitting clinical trial data after the fact in order to obscure an existing link between vaccines and autism?

Being "Healthy" Is Making You Fat and Sick Congratulations, America! We've made it -- a No. 1... top of the list... king of the hill! A new survey finds the United States is just about the healthiest nation on the planet by three key mainstream standards. We get more sleep and exercise and eat "healthier" than just about everyone else, according to the global survey by GfK. So what's our prize? How about this: a T-shirt that says, "My country has some of the healthiest habits on the planet, and all I got was this lousy diabetes!" Because despite the fact that we're so darned "healthy," we're practically leading the world in being ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A smartphone app that uses the AliveCor cardiac monitor can detect and record wide complex tachycardias, doctors say. "These types of devices are easy to obtain and use in the general population and may be extremely useful for certain populations to complement clinical history and exam," Dr. Saumya Das, from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, told Reuters Health by email. "Negative findings (e.g., sinus rhythm) that are contemporaneous with symptoms may be especially useful in excluding diagnoses of arrhythmias. Positive findings always need to be interpreted in a clinical context and perhaps complemented ...

Medscape It's sending a record number of seniors to the hospital, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today. For the week ending January 24, the number of hospitalizations associated with a laboratory-confirmed case of influenza for adults aged 65 years or older was a cumulative 198 per 100,000 population since the flu season began last fall, the CDC said in its weekly FluView summary. A CDC spokesperson said that number was the highest since the agency began tracking influenza-related hospitalizations among adults in the 2005-2006 season. The previous high occurred in the 2012-2013 season, when the hospitalization rate for this demographic was 183 per 100,000. ...

The health-promoting perks of wine have attracted the spotlight recently, leaving beer in the shadows. But scientists are discovering new ways in which the latter could be a more healthful beverage than once thought. They're now reporting in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that a compound from hops could protect brain cells from damage -- and potentially slow the development of disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Jianguo Fang and colleagues note that mounting evidence suggests that oxidative damage to neuronal cells contributes to the development of diseases that originate in the brain. If scientists could find a way to guard these cells ...

ScienceDaily: March 5, 2014 Beer drinkers know that hops are what gives the drink its bitterness and aroma. Recently, scientists reported that the part of hops that isn't used for making beer contains healthful antioxidants and could be used to battle cavities and gum disease. In a new study in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, they say that they've identified some of the substances that could be responsible for these healthful effects. Yoshihisa Tanaka and colleagues note that their earlier research found that antioxidant polyphenols, contained in the hop leaves (called bracts) could help fight cavities and gum disease. Extracts from bracts stopped the ...

Drinking more than two alcoholic beverages a day in middle-age raises stroke risk in early old age more than do traditional risk factors, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, a new study suggests. The study is published online January 29 in Stroke, with first author Pavla Kadlecová, MSc, St. Anne's Hospital, Brno, Czech Republic. The study found that individuals who consumed more than two drinks a day during midlife had double the risk for stroke between the ages of 60 and 75 years compared with those who consumed an average of half an alcoholic drink per day. A similar analysis of stroke risk associated with hypertension and diabetes found that heavy drinking during ...

Joan Rivers' Daughter Sues Clinic Over Star's Death Tuesday, 27 Jan 2015 07:58 AM Joan Rivers' daughter filed a malpractice lawsuit on Monday against the New York medical clinic that treated her mother days before her death, saying doctors there posed for selfies with their sedated celebrity patient even as her vital signs were plunging. Rivers, who was 81, suffered a loss of oxygen to her brain on Aug. 28 while physicians at the Yorkville Endoscopy center in Manhattan were performing procedures to examine her throat and vocal cords, and she died a week later at a New York hospital. The lawsuit said the doctors were not adequately trained to recognize and deal with the ...

OSAKA, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- A research team of Japan's Osaka University has announced that it has proved myocardial cells developed from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells could assimilate with heart tissues of rats and function continuously, which marks a big step towards clinical research of treating human heart diseases with iPS cells. The team said it had cooperated with National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center to transplant iPS-derived myocardial cell sheets to rats with myocardial infarction, and observed the cells one month later with help of X-rays from SPring-8, the world's largest third-generation synchrotron radiation facility located in Hyogo Prefecture, western ...
Effect of BPA and estradiol on sperm development seen by researchers

ScienceDaily: Washington State University researchers have found a direct link between the plastics component bisphenol A, or BPA, and disrupted sperm production. Writing in the journal PLOS Genetics, they say the chemical disrupts the delicate DNA interactions needed to create sperm. WSU geneticist and principle investigator Pat Hunt says she and her team may have unearthed the physiological mechanism that could account for decreased sperm counts seen in several human studies. It also bolsters the "estrogen hypothesis" that estrogen disruptors in the environment are at play. "This provides some real insight into what exactly might be going on," Hunt says. ...
